attack in benghazi. he was a wonderful son and father to my two amazing grandchildren. samantha and nathan, now 10 and 11. he was proud to serve his country with the united states foreign service. the last time i talk to some, but that before the attack, he told me mom, i'm going to die. security had been pulled from the embassy. explain. he explained. when he asked why, he never received a response. nobody seemed to care. the very next day, he was murdered. murdered by radical islamic terrorists. to this dayay -- come i don't even know why a

bitter guy like some was sent to benghazi. lost sean, brother, father, husband. we lost for brave americans who made the ultimate sacrifice for the country day served and the american people lost the truth for all of this loss and grief, for all the citizens of the tragedy in benghazi, it has brought a gun -- upon america, i by hillary clinton -- blame hillary clinton. [cheering] i blame hillary clinton personally for the death of my son. personally. in an e-mail to her daughter shortly after the attack, hillary clinton blamed it on

terrorism, but when i saw she lied to me, and then called me a liar. >> boo! when i saw hillary clinton at sean's coffin ceremony, she looked me in the eye and told me a video was responsible. >> boo! >> since then i have repeatedly asked hillary clinton to ask plaintiff may the real reason why my son is dead. i'm still waiting. whenever i called the state department, no one would speak to me because they say i am not a member of the immediate family.

>> boo! >> sean is my son. is a woman, an mother, a grandmother of two. mother, and aa mother of two. how could she do this to me? how could she do this to any american family? donald trump is everything hillary clinton is not. [cheering] he is blunt, direct, and strong.

he speaks his mind and his heart. and when it comes to the threat posed by radical islamic terrorism, he will not hesitate to kill the terrorist who threaten american lives. [cheering] he will make america stronger, not weaker. this entire campaign comes down to a single question, is hillary clinton -- it's clinton can't give us the truth, why should we give her the presidency? [cheering] that is right. hillary clinton for prison. [cheering] she deserves to be in stripes.

>> we don't come to you as republicans or democrats or with any arty affiliation, we come to as american to care. americans who care about our country and our comrades in arms. we don't deal with failed leadership, false promises and washington doubletalk when american lives are at stake. the zendaya back -- is an exact columns we do covered. >> livia was a different kind of calculation and we did not lose a single person. we do not lose a single person. we did not lose a single person. single person. single person. >> we honor the memories of the

ambassadors. their families have dealt with the reality of their deaths because of their service to america. and this is the simple story of those men's reality on the ground in benghazi. our intelligence agencies new that some of those that we supported were terrorist. some were members of the living islamic fighting for. all of them were al qaeda groups on state department terrorist lists. one of the terrorist commanders was even a former inmate at guantanamo bay. >> the day before the benghazi tourist attack, president obama conferred with his cabinet to see what might be needed for the university of 9/11. hillary clinton was present. not a single change made by the help those in high risk areas. there was sudden violence and brutal. a terrorist attack.

military aircraft, not one soldier outside of libya was sent to benghazi where battle dragged on for hours. washington never intended to send anybody to benghazi. americans don't leave the man behind. it is not who we are. it is not what we do. we don't want our teammates coming home in black draped coffins because of the leadership. false realities and washington bureaucrats who don't have their policies or priorities straight. we want them coming home with honor to their families and a grateful nation that can say, thank you for your service. [cheering] >> please welcome members of the benghazi and a security team and co-authors the book 13 hour. [cheering]

>> thank you so much. thank you. thank you, america for showing us the support and dedication that should have been offered by hillary and her state department. thereafter, stayed -- [cheering] >> september 11, 2012, we got a call that you as complex had been overrun. we meekly got ready to go. got the vehicles ready. we got pulled away by the chief and we got told to stand down.

next thing we know, we hear the state department on the radio saying if you guys don't get here, we will all die. standdown order be damped, -- da mned, we took off and left. we were not waiting anymore. [cheering] as they moved on to the consulate, the first thing you see is the main village engulfed in fire and smoke. out, moved up to the front step of the consulate, all to my right, pulling a body , a live bodyndow and i'd love being a smith. he was dead of smoke inhalation. in,ontinue to move, we went

the heat of the fire, blasting in our face, the smoke, obliterated our site. we try to get on our bellies and and seethe smoke -- underneath the smoke. we came to the back gate, as it moved under the consulate grounds, started searching, after two minutes, the state department guys got update classified information, get them ready to go in the armored vehicles and all of a sudden, we had a good encounter assault. at that time, the state department security agents jumping out and helping us defend the u.s. consulate. they took off. with less -- which left the six of us to defend the consulate. i got out, went up on the roof of the villa, made my way up to guy wek gate, the initiated was within our bj. r b j, onrd shot, --

his third shot i let loose on a 10 round valley and he dropped. [cheering] for about five minutes, then we got word, they were gathering about another 100 terrorists. hillary was watching. it came to a point where we had to make a decision. know --time we do not did not know the us ambassador was even there or if he had been kidnapped. if he was dead. we had a responsibility of 30 other personnel. we had to make it tough decision. we headed back to the annex about the ambassador. as the team arrived back at the annex, we took of our fighting positions because we knew they were going to be following us from the consulate in coming to our place the we were ready for them. started seeing movement on the side of the compound.

all of a sudden, something came point over the wall. landed between us and expletive. up ons when they opened us and we unleashed hell on them. [cheering] the first wave had about 20 terrorists in it. they went away with a whole a less. lot less [cheering] . >> after the first initial he had to pull out his medicaid and grab some gauze and shove and easier. looks like he had a tampon out. [laughter] does become he came up right nextd it and stuck his gun man fired out my left ear. i can hear -- can't hear to this day.

soon after that we got word that the support teams from tripoli have landed at the ghazi -- benghazi airport. you think airport security is bad united states, you ought to try landing in an airport controlled by moshe. -- a militia. thank god money talks. >> mine doesn't. going round 1:30 in the morning, you still have u.s. ambassador, still missing, movement starting to come up again on the east side and i get on the radio and say, are they going to secure the outer printer. 1:30, three half hours. we get the answer, i don't know. good intel. cameat point, a vehicle out of the darkness. guy camehicle -- the

out of the vehicle. roundshim out, through into him and dropped like a bag of a second potatoes. -- second potatoes. [cheering] take that guy out and another guy would pop up. game, like that arcade lacrimal -- whack a mole. stick his head out, you should him. him.oot [cheering] a little bit out of that, -- after that, we got a call that the ambassador was located at the hospital. there was no way across to determine if this was a -- alive or dead. we did not know if it could have been a trick frost to spread our and screw everybody else

over. we had it stay put. moved from where was that. i was up there with tyrone and during the downtime, we started talking about events that night. about whenearlier sig saved his life. he started yelling out for sig and sig without regard for his safety, after getting out of a smoke-filled room went back in and pulled tyrone out. [cheering] he was also talking about his kids. all of us had a lot of young kids out there.

just about his wife had been pregnant. he had a newborn baby coming. none of us knew we would make it home or not. was getting onto that time in the morning when the sun starts coming up and we start seeing that change on the horizon where the sky turns from dark to blue. about the time the call for prayer finished, we thought, the next attack will be here. by that time, when we heard over the radio that the team from tripoli had made their way to the annex and were getting ready to pull in, when they did, instead of going inside the , he came up on top of the roof. he wanted to get to the fight. he joined us up there.

tyrone introduced me to going to die had never met him before. first thing out of my mouth was good to have another gunfighter up on top of the roof. he turned and started walking away from it and it was at that time that the final attack started. a rocket propelled grenade hit the back of the wall. small arms by the open up from the north. ar hit the- a mort outer wall. the state department guy yelled he was hit. took some trout now to his four head. -- shrapnel to the forehead. we opened the fire. that's when the second mortgage. aboutout 15 feet -- hit 15 feet to my right. as i stood up, i noticed that tyrone was in a fetal position. i read my left hand up to raise my rebel and that's when i noticed that i was injured.

i left arm about six inches above the wrist was hanging off at a 90 degree angle. then that the third mortar hit. as a glazed over my right , i knows glenn was face down and out of the fight. i tried to bring my arm up to grab my weapon because i wanted to get back into the fight. it just would not work. i cannot get it to hold on. that's when the fourth mortar hit. that was the first time i felt any pain than i did it felt like i got stung by a thousand bees. i figured at that time, the hardheaded midteens -- marines ought to get into cover. id. don't for cover and everything went fine. -- dove for cover and everything went quiet. i pulled the printed it out. -- tourniquet out. cannot find a pulse on tyrone.

at that time, i saw a shadow come up on the roof and that was sig. the dust and debris had not finished falling when he got up on the roof. scared and wegot were initially fighting and he got on the roof. as i'm standing there, at first when the first- round hit the roof, it went dead quite. youdebris was so thick, cannot see the stars. just went pitch black. towards building c and i get on the radio. are you guys all right? i did nagasaki response. -- not expect a response. the team later said they were all right. jackets on and says, got no movement.

over thing i do, i took the parapet in the first guy i see is the state guy leaning up against the wall. has his pistol at. -- out. left leg almost severed off. quick.o do something luckily he did not shoot me. maybe i would have got a metal if he would have. i got to tourniquets. the tourniquet on his leg. put eternity it on his arm. i'm asking for extra help from the guys below. somethingearing like crime behind me. -- crying behind me. pistolim down, give his back to him. unloaded. as a move across, i can hear the whimpering and the next thing i know, this guy sitting with his back against the wall and play with his wrist.

need to quit doing that come it will be worse. >> i would try to put it back in place and would not stay there. >> i do not have superglue. he had his tourniquet out. got it on his arm. can you get to the letter by yourself? >> yeah. i knew that tyrone and glenn still needed help. some are in the back my mind i was hoping they were still alive. they met how i will get down off the thing. and three mortars landed on me and the next thing you know, i'm thinking, and the default this roof and break my neck. want toe not stores i hear about how i die. if i'm going to go out, i would to go out in a blaze of glory. [cheering]

so i ended up hooking my good arm on the top rung of the ladder and think i might swing my feet down around the louder -- ladder. murphy's law, what went wrong can go wrong. i thought the letter. ugly i cut myself with my good arm and pulled myself back up. myself together and climbed on the letter. walked around from the front of the building, met one of our guys. laid him down on the floor. i was sitting there. looking at me, you need to cut my clothes off. i know have a bunch of other holes on the. another other wounds that need to be treated. they got the close cut off of me. too of them were bleeding bad so we got them plug. ready to going. >> t-mobile they did because he lost his cane when the mortar

hit. -- he mumbled a bit because he lost his cane when the mortar hit. i rolled him over. it merely check for a pulse. for a move just above it. did not get a pulse. merely ripped off his body armor. see the breast -- breath of the stomach moving. did not get anything. got the flashlight, check for people dilation and there was nothing. i knew he was gone. he went down. the next radio call was going to be for him. got to the next guy, which ended up, never worked with him.

over, same thing. check for a pulse. people -- did pupil dilation, nothing. grabbed all his weapons and stuff like that, you'll down and set a prayer for him. what over to bald, grabbed his weapon system. kneel down and said a prayer over him. off andtime, we all got we knew we had to get out of there. there is nothing that we had back could defend against a mortar attack in the fact that a building just got hit by three 10 meter mortars did not collapse on everybody inside, it was not the construction of the building, that was from upstairs. >> the grace of god. [cheering]

once we all got stabilize, we secure the dead and major wheat did not have any critical information behind and that's only made our way to the airport. militia, enlist the happened to be good off the loyalists. -- ghaddafi loyalists. they helped us get to the hospital. when we got there, we loaded up the non-shooting personnel. i made my trip in the back of a toyota pickup truck. they came over me. they came to grab the gurney and that's when i set up and told them i wanted to benghazi, i will walk out. ghazi, i will the walk out -- benghazi, i will walk out. [cheering] >> those the same plane that brought down from aaa. this was one of the planes glenn

did not make it back on. secured, it became secured, they had just met that day. i don't think it is a coincidence. ushaven't overwater with that night. we got everybody loaded up, headed to tripoli and then we had to turn our task. we stayed behind because they cannot hold everybody. again, the gaddafi moralist -- loyal as moshe stepped up -- militia stepped up. there are termed the ambassador's body. ambassador with the 's body. he was wearing the same close -- clothes at the morning we saw him.

clothesearing the same .the only difference on his feetck soot and minerals and ears, -- fingernails and ears, no sign of torture or mutilation. obviously that he died of smoke and elation. -- inhalation. at that point, we still do not know how we were going to get out of there. of minutes go by, i seek 1:30 running down the runway, comes a little closer and is a u-turn, pulls off to a hangar area and shuts down. see the crew get off. we stand there for a little bit. one of the team members from

aaa, -- tripoli, took them 15 minutes or so. persuaded the pilots to take us up to tripoli. ghazi,ericans leave and -- benghazi, we left on a libyan plane flown by libyans. asset we saw was on a jet, it was a medical transport bird that took us to germany. about 5:00 p.m. on september 12. >> that night, there are more than 30 american lives saved that night. it is because americans never give up. [cheering] we refuse to lose.

benghazi has been a four letter word for the left, it was about opportunity. opportunities taken when he defied the standdown orders. an opportunity squandered when hillary failed to protect her people on the ground. night, done her job at had she done her job, we would not have had to compromise. sean, ambassador stevens would be alive today. now, -- [cheering] now we as americans, we have an opportunity and that opportunity is to elect somebody who will make this country safe again.

we have to elect someone who will have our backs. someone who will bring our guys home. will not leave anybody behind. [cheering] we have to let somebody who will be with strength and integrity. and i believe that person is donald trump. [cheering] >> we did our part. every fallen veteran did their

part. now two years. -- you do yours. >> god bless you and thank you all. -! [cheering] this, you areike talking about letting a violent felon want back out on the street. >> more guns found. and border patrol agent was shot in the back and killed during a shootout on the arizona border. raped,one has to be

robbed, murdered, before they become a priority. >> we are speaking to you last night from the arizona-mexico border. we're here to tell you about our brother and our hero, border patrol agent brian perry. he believed a life led in the service of others. >> we knew he would choose a career in one portion. he listed in the marines and served in the police. he joined an elite border patrol tactical unit. on december 14, 2000 10, not far from here, he was pursuing a crew of illegal immigrants who were robbing and assaulting illegals. when he engage them, suffer fired in our brother was mortally wounded. his last words as reported to me, i'm hit, i cannot feel my legs. i think i'm paralyzed.

that will help me to the day i take my left breast. >> he was supposed to come home to michigan. if that celebrated holidays with him, we buried him not to far from the family home. recovered from the scene or traced back to the failed gun operation. left his family, friends, community in our country. the best way to honor him is to honor his fellow order patrol officer. failedtate policies -- policies are leaving portugal agent poorly equipped and unable to do their job. my brother made the opposite -- ultimate sacrifice. they need the personal and the commit required to keep our border secure. arizona, their only 1.5 agents for every 10 square miles. this is on acceptable. >> only one candidate is serious about our security and that is

donald trump. he will give us the agents -- resources to do the job. resident trump will make border secure again. rest in peace, brother. donald trump. [cheering] >> good evening. i monitored to be here. this november we're going to win. [cheering] i know i'm not your typical convention speaker. you might be wondering why i chose to speak. the truth is, i never consider myself very political or spoken out politically before. country, my this faith in jesus christ have compelled me to speak now. that is right. [cheering] i'm concerned about our .ountry's future

i'm concerned about my children's future and i believe when he donald trump -- we need donald trump who shares my beliefs, my faith, to get our country back on track. in the past eight years, failed policies have caused our country to deteriorate. all rights have been threatened. we are weaker but every measure. we are on the wrong path. it is clear to someone who is not even born here, i came to the united states from rome, italy in 1985. [cheering] rules andll the finally became a naturalized citizen in 1996. [cheering] that's right.

others, who want to come to the u.s. to live and work should follow the same rules. [cheering] that's right. laws for ation of reason. there should be no shortcuts for those who don't want to pay or wait. my mother was born in communist prague, and it -- met my debt of italy. i know a socialism looks like and i don't want that for my children. not at all. that is the past. -- path. that is the path we are headed down with the leader we have in the candidate he endorses. barack obama and hillary clinton promote division. don't be full. -- full to. donald trump is for unity. -- fooled.

donald trump is for unity. [cheering] donald trump leaves in -- one america with liberty and justice for all. having secure borders, protecting the citizens, none of this is hateful. this is the responsibility of the government. [cheering] that's right. it is the right thing to do. doned trump will get it and put us back on the right track. people know this and that is why they have voted as they had. we can no longer afford to be silent. our country needs donald trump to make is great again. [cheering] god bless you and god bless the united states of america! [cheering]

>> please welcome marianne sabine durden, and jamiel shaw. >> my son was killed two years ago by the illegal alien. he was a repeat criminal. everyone of the crimes committed have laws that should have resulted in court mandated jail time. but it did not happen. instead, i had my son's wife man who is the by a the time the legal limit drunk, was high on meth and drove for onr 35 miles the wrong way four different freeways and he had no business being in this

country. my son was an intricate part of the community and his death had left a large void and many people's lives. story cut short. he was a modern day cop. he went door-to-door and met everyone. invited them in for dinner, he checked in on the utterly, he got drug dealers out of the neighborhood, he advocated for children, he provided an annual thanks giving dinner, he shopped for children at christmas and he inspired children to stay in school. a memorial is still up in the area he patrol. my son's life was stolen at the hands of an illegal alien. nt is time that we have a

administration that cares more about americans than illegals. [cheering] puttingor hillary is all of our children's lives at risk, it is time for donald trump. thank you. [cheering] >> sadly, i have a similar story to share with you. rock, my sond, my child was alsoy killed by an illegal immigrant. i called them illegal aliens. [cheering] man whon amazing young is loved by all. he was fun, generous, outgoing. he was a law-enforcement.

and i'm a month dispatcher pursuing his dream to be a helicopter pilot for the police department. life was good. his future looked bright. turned his carl in front of him riding his motorcycle to work and killed him instantly. the killer was from guatemala and had recently been supported -- deported for felony of armed robbery and grant that. after returning to america illegally again, he was cut from driving.- caught drunk no license, no registration, no insurance and he got probation. another probation. later, while barely

under the legal limit of being drunk, he killed my dom. he was given a misdemeanor and served just 35 days in jail. >> boo! i have been talking about illegal immigration since 2012. since he got killed and no one listened. until donald trump. [cheering] donald trump is not only my hero, he's my lifesaver. [cheering] clinton, or as we know her, crooked hillary -- [cheering] always talks about what she will do for illegal aliens and what

she will do for refugees. what donald trump talks about what he will do for americans. [cheering] usa. usa. usa. usa. we need to enforce our immigration -- our existing immigration laws. soneed to secure our borders no other person has to ever go through this kind of grief, pain, agony knowing this could have been prevented. build the wall. americans need to come first.

thank you. [cheering] >> thank you for the rnc for the invitation to speak about my beloved son. friend,thank you to my the undisputed gop nominee in the next president of the united states. donald j trump. [cheering] the second, 2008, my life changed in a blink of an eye. one minute i'm here my son's voice, he might -- the right home old man. the next minute, gunshots. he is dead. i saw the hole in his head and blood everywhere. it happened so fast he was still

holding his phone. at the same moment, his mother was serving in our military overseas. lapd came buried him, to my home to tell us they found the killer. for two weeks local politicians supported us and every black politician nla did too. -- in la did too. they even put up a memorial. two weeks after that, everything changed. we learned the killer was an mexico.alien from released from jail, with a deportation hold, three gun charges and assault and battery on a police officer. and the politicians disappeared. in 2012, we finally had our day

in court. d.a. proved he was murdered because he was black. the coroner testified while he was on his back, bleeding from a stomach wound, his hands were up and his second bullet went through his hand and into his head. also proof that the killer's gang targeted black males. you would think obama cared and black lives matter, no. is obama's hillary third term. only trump called me on the phone to see how i was doing. only trump will stand against terrorists and end illegal immigration.

[cheering] build the wall. trump mentions americans killed by illegals. donald trump will put america first. not crooked hillary. [cheering] again, like i said before, trump is sent from god. e.pport trump and penc they will come together and make america safe and a great again.

[cheering] [cheering] tonight, we heard powerful

testimony from people who have been devastated by obamas reckless immigration policy. haven't we had enough? hillary clinton is promising more of the same. amnesty,ers, executive and a surge of syrian refugees. oo!b >> this is a dangerous liberal agenda and it is time for a change. time to take back our country and make america safe again. [cheering] >> usa. usa. usa. >> usa. you as a.

-- usa. we need to add sanctuary cities. cities.hanks were ,- end sanctuary cities . [cheering] keep dangerous people out of our country. [cheering] and secure our borders once and for all. [cheering] securityry's nasa goes -- national security is at risk. president reagan once reminded that america is a shining city upon a hill. a beacon of hope to the world. after eight years of leadership, our city on a hill is now a city under siege. today, our allies no longer trust us. our adversaries no longer fear us.

plottingnemies are against us. this did not happen by accident. it happened by design. obamathe work of a barack and the architect of his failed foreign policy hillary clinton. [cheering] for years, they presided over america's retreat. and the consequences clear. leading from behind has led us into danger. when hillary stop talking about the war on terror, our enemies noticed. when she helped withdraw our forces from iraq, greeting a power vacuum, she paved the way for isis to rear its ugly head and our enemies noticed. when four americans were murdered at benghazi, it burned. she blamed it on a video.

in our enemies noticed. sidelinestood on the while terror hotspots corrupted across the globe, our enemies noticed. we have already sent -- witness the recent attacks in paris, brussels, a stable and now we are in the crosshairs. have become streets the battleground. ft. hood, boston, chattanooga, san bernardino, orlando. instead of protecting americans, the obama administration turned a blind eye to the dangers. let's cut to the suffocating political correctness. [cheering] and call the threat what it really is, the enemy is radical

islam. [cheering] these fanatics of radicalized -- have radicalized a religion into a weapon targeting our way of life. resident reagan once asked if you are better off than you were four years ago? tonight, let me ask you this question. are you safer than you were eight years ago? >> no! >> no. is our military stronger? >> no. >> is america still respected? >> no. >> over and over of obama and hillary have apologized for sts toa and allowed jihadi spread like wildfire.

we cannot afford hillary in the white house again. [cheering] we need someone who can repair the damage she has done, take the fight to the enemy and put america first. batman is donald trump. man is donald trump. [cheering] i am proud to serve as a member of his national security team. and i can tell you this, i can tell you this, donald will never apologize for american greatness.

he will promote it. [cheering] it is time to unify as a party. it is time to unify as a party. he will never bow down to our enemies. he will stand up to them. and donald will never allow terrorists to gain ground against america. he will shape the ground they walk on. [cheering] my father was a volunteer in world war ii and participated in the d-day event in against

monopolies. azis.e n his generation often called the greatest. america ton a safer generation. now, we are in a struggle against the forces of radical islam and terror which must be defeated for our children and our grandchildren. [cheering] pickup administration will take a donald trump administration will take on this point and send a clear message to islamic terrorists. you may have fired the first shot, but rest assured, america will fire the last. [cheering] >> usa!

usa! usa! thank you and god bless america. god bless the next president of the united states. [cheering] >> please welcome milwaukee county sheriff david clarke.

>> thank you. ladies and gentlemen. i would like to make something very clear, blue lives matter in america. [cheering] >> usa. usa. usa. >> i stand before you tonight with a heavy heart. at the law enforcement community prepares to bury three of baton rouge's louisiana finest.

there is some good news. out of baltimore maryland as lieutenant brian rice was acquitted on all charges. [cheering] ofthe malicious prosecution activist state attorney marilyn mosby. >> boo! to talk to you about something important. five on abortion officers were murdered and nine more were wounded for earlier this month. murdered two more days ago in baton rouge, louisiana. important -- importance of making america safer again.

[cheering] i believe that this noble mission is not just a requirement but a pre-what was it for achieving the campaign goal of making america great again. [cheering] we simply cannot be great if we do not feel safe in our home, our streets, our schools. i see this every day at street level. many americans increasingly have an uneasiness about the ability of their family to live safely in these troubling times. this transcends race, religion, ethnicity, gender, age, and lifestyle. [cheering] if you don't believe it, a recent gallup poll confirms it. americanshalf of all now worry a great deal about

crime and violence. consistently up from a few years ago. and for african-americans, that number is 70%. sadly, try growing number of communities, the sense of safety that many of us once took for granted has been shattered. americans don't always feel safe and that if they're working in a big city, living in a suburb or rural areas all around this i often tell, residents of milwaukee in the city and town that visit, that safety is a shared endeavor. 's size with a willing acceptance of people to play by society's rules. if you well, they code where we collectively agree upon that insured stability, fairness and inspect.

-- respect. it is built on the foundation of trust. and the people who administer and enforce societies rules at its foundation is a rule of law. the [cheering] -- [cheering] darkened -- dr. martin luther king wrote passionate about the interrelatedness of all communities and about our inescapable network of mutuality tying us to a single garment of destiny. he spoke about the basic reality of the rule of law provided that it is applied equally to both the wealthy and the impoverished, both men and women, and yes the majority and minority. [cheering]

what we witnessed in ferguson and baltimore and baton rouge was a collapse of the social order. the actions of the occupy movement and black lives matter transcend people protest and violates the code of conduct we rely on. i called anarchy. anarchy.t [cheering] american law enforcement officers understand that race is and has been a heated issue in our country. most appreciate the vital need for thoroughness and transparency in pursuit of the greater good in their these are truths that are self evident to me and that i practice. they are the truths the donald trump understands and supports. [applause]

donald trump is the steadfast leader our nation needs. mehas spoken passionately to of his belief in our american system of justice. values that are at the foundation of our social contract. throughout his campaign over many years he has consistently and constantly raised his voice not only in defense of the police officer but of the need for all people to feel that they are being treated fairly and respectfully by law enforcement. [applause] donald trump understands that what can make our nation safe recommitment to a system of justice in which no

, no privatefficial citizen, no elected official even hillary clinton, and no group of people despite the fervor with which they put forth in their grievances. the law.ove it cannot happen in the united states. [applause] the tradition of the primacy of the rule of law in america is strong. actions that we will move forward toward making america safe again. god bless you and may god continue to bless these united states of america. [applause] [applause]

>> please welcome united states ofresentative sean duffy wisconsin. sean duffy: hello america. i met rachel 19 years ago on america's first reality tv show. we had our eighth baby. nothing good comes out of reality tv? with a family of 10 it gets a little crazy. we have some pretty simple rules in our house.

no waking mom and dad up on saturday mornings. no private servers in the basement. and no lying, especially to the fbi. for us, it is all about family. icon from a long line of lumberjacks. my irish family were tough farmers. they came to wisconsin to work. they knew anyone could succeed in america with great, faith and family. rachel: my grandparents came here from mexico.

they settled in arizona where my father was a shoeshine boy. by the age of 12 he started his own business making people got this. my mother taught herself english and they both attended night school and earn their degrees while raising a family. [applause] hard work, discipline, self-reliance and opportunity. that is the american dream that we believe in. rachel: it is a dream that is bigger and more satisfying than any bureaucrat or government check could ever hope to deliver. [applause] sean: our grandparents chose to be americans. we choose to be republicans.

the republican party offers upward mobility rooted in individual liberty and economic freedom. americane cannot let become the corrupt socialist regimes that our families left behind. sean: sadly, barack obama and hillary clinton had left us in $19 trillion in debt. there are thousands of new rules and regulations that are crushing the american workers. do you want four more years of that? radical jihadists are killing americans. all the time, hillary clinton and barack obama are fretting

over whether to call it workplace violence or hate crime. you want four more years of that? we need to unify. we need a new president who can strengthen, protect and restore our nation for the next generation. rachel: every morning i look into the eyes of what is at stake in this election. our children. yours and mine. the challenges facing america have never been greater. we must meet those challenges. [applause] sean: we can make america great again. we will. ,t is going to take all of us

[applause] good evening.

i am an unapologetic christian constitutionalist conservative. [applause] i am your republican nominee for the senate in the number one battleground state in this country, and that is colorado. it is my privilege to stand here and support our next president, donald trump. i am often asked why are your republican?

it's because the democrat party is the party of handouts. ther more than seven years only thing we have left in our pockets is change. this president ran to be commander-in-chief. his rhetoric has made him the divider in chief. we are more racially divided today than before he ran. but there is more. did you see the new black panthers outside? where are jesse jackson and al sharpton? they don't speak for black america and they don't speak for me. mr. president, i have a message.

this is not about black america, white america, brown america. this is about the united states of america. somebody with a nice tan it needs to say this. all lives matter. [applause] here are some more facts mr. president. neighborhoods have become more violent under your watch. your rhetoric has a direct impact on the relationship

between the community and the police. we can bring this country together. but we must realize that our heroes and blue are part of the solution and not the problem. stand up and support those men and women in dallas. stand up and support those people in louisiana. blue lives matter. [applause] nobody wants ban caps off the street more than good cops. if we really want to hear all more men need to start stepping up and taking care of their children. [applause]

safe neighborhoods happen when fathers and mothers are home. we must recognize that evil exists in this world. the threat from radical islamic terrorism is real. our troops don't care what party you represent. they care about having the tools and the training and equipment to do their jobs. if you put them in harms way, let them win. [applause] when they come home, honor them and care for their injuries. friends, we must win this

election. hillary clinton is unfit to be president. [applause] we all know she loves her pantsuits. you know what coming. e-mail andend her an tell her she deserves a bright orange jumpsuit. [applause] here's the bottom line. american exceptionalism is alive and well. evil exists. battleis my witness, the can be one. believe we can win. believe we can change things. makeve it together we can

america great again. [applause] my name is darryl glenn and i can't do this without your help. god bless each and everyone of you. god bless the great state of colorado. god bless the united states of america. thank you. [applause] [applause] >> please welcome the united states senator from arkansas, tom cotton. ♪ tom cotton: thank you. we've seen what happens when america leads from

behind. that is that is not with the army taught me. for everyone who agrees that america should lead the way, i have a message. help is on the way. [applause] let me tell you a story. in arkansas farm boy who became a soldier. a war he waswas away at school. then in a comfortable professional job exempt from service. he sacrificed that comfort against the wishes of his family. volunteered for the army. he became an infantryman. .hat boy was my dad

he went to vietnam in 1969. [applause] 35 years later because of 9/11 i did the same. [applause] against the wishes of my family i give up my legal career i volunteered for the army. and ime an infantryman went to iraq and afghanistan. my dad said he felt like god was punishing him for what he did to his dad. but god was not punishing him. god had called us to serve.

just as he called so many of you to serve as well. my family isn't extraordinary. arkansas toms of the fire stations in new york, so many families can tell the same story. the defense of this country is always a family affair and these families shoulder more than their share of the task. we hate fight because our enemies but because we love our country. [applause] we love its freedom and we love that we are born equal and no one can boss us around. these things are worth fighting for and dying for.

they make life worth living for. our warriors and their families don't ask for much. we are blessed to serve and we are grateful for the generosity of our fellow citizens. we would like a commander-in-chief who speaks of winning wars and not just ending wars. [applause] we would like a commander-in-chief who calls its enemy by its name. a commander-in-chief who draws redlines cautiously but enforces them ruthlessly. it would be nice to have a commander-in-chief who could be trusted to handle classified information. [applause]

we did like politicians who treat our common defense as the chief responsibility of the government, not just another government program. this is not much to ask for. eight years without it is more than enough. another four years is unthinkable. quote the last republican vice president about the consequences of the last time a clinton was in the white house. in a trump and hence administration and with a republican congress health -- help is on the way. [applause] [applause]

believe me, no man wants more wars once you've seen the face of war. have planned memorial services for fallen comrades in the mountains of afghanistan. i have carried to their flag draped caskets onto planes. i have buried them in arlington national cemetery. confirmsm of the ages the council of our first president to be prepared for war is one of the most effective ways of preserving peace. the purpose of our common defense is to protect the american people and preserve our independent so that we can enjoy the blessings of peace. freedom, family and

prosperity. why father and his father were willing to fight so that their children and grandchildren could live in peace. sadly, that was not to be. fighting, hasis fought and will fight so that , my infant son gabriel and the christmas baby my wife and i are expecting, might one day live in peace. [applause] for that cause, i speak tonight not only to republicans but to the millions of independents and democrats who share that dream and wish to make america safe again. thank you and god bless you. [applause] [applause]

[applause]

leadership, strong leadership. leadership that will longer sit idly by and let our enemies define the world in which we live. there is no adversary the u.s. we cany cannot defeat if find them under the ludicrous rules of engagement they've been forced to fight under for the last seven years. [applause] thank you. leaders desire to win hearts and minds at whatever cost to our own. too many american sons and daughters have died needless

deaths due to these absurd rules. aaron.r my only brave warriors. countless others have curtailed their military careers because of the culture they know puts their lives in needless risk. said, i did not join to be sacrificed. i joined to fight. [applause] we have lost the will to defend whoelves against enemies are hell-bent on destroying us. we have been unwilling to lead with strength. we have been unwilling to even call our enemies by name. how can you defeat an enemy you cannot even name.

[applause] we must elect to leaders will give our soldiers every tool possible to win. to stande can trust strong against our enemies. leaders like donald trump. [applause] it is way past time to make america strong and safe again. and god bless this amazing united states of america. [applause] [applause] >> please welcome the united states senator from alabama, jeff sessions. jeff sessions: thank you.

thank you, alabama. speaking from this podium today is a long way from the rafters my wife and i had in miami in 1972. this year are voters spoke clearly on two critical issues in our primary. trade and immigration. they affirmed donald trump's position. they opposed obama on trade. they demanded a lawful system of immigration that protects their safety and their financial well-being. average americans have been the first to know that something is

wrong with this economy. our middle class is steadily declining. african-american and hispanic communities have been hurt the most. andwashington establishment the media and big corporations have been in denial. fellow republicans, we must understand that the incomes of middle-class americans today are $4000 less per year than in 1999. this is an economic disaster. we are on the wrong track. the american people know it. [applause] clinton has a plan for more of the same. more government and more taxes and more regulations and more at illegal immigration and more debt.

she has been the champion of globalist trade agreements. but they have not worked for the american people. when those agreements were signed president clinton and obama promised are dangerous trade deficits with china and korea would be reduced. the deficit with china has increased fivefold. the deficit with korea has more than foured in less years. these are job killing numbers. they are now pushing a disastrous obama trade agreement partnershipacific agreement. this must not happen. this election has also been about immigration. years are good and decent people have pleaded with their leaders for sound immigration policy.

a policy that would advance the national interest. our elites have responded with disdain and to and scorn. is there anyone in america that is not understand that when we bring in more workers than we had jobs, the job prospects and wages fall. [applause] economists and the congressional budget office of just that. is it too much to ask that we slow down and protect our national security and jobs? we lawfully

they are for the most part wonderful new additions to our country. [cheering] that, we have 700,000 guestworkers here who take jobs in the majority of these are not seasonal or agriculture workers, they are about 350,000 people who succeed in crossing our borders illegally each year and almost 500,000 more unlawfully overstay their visas. these are extreme numbers. but the only solution from obama and hillary clinton is to capitulate to the lawlessness and give amnesty and citizenship to all. it will not work. >> boo! this, from 2000-2014, while our existing population increased by a million, the number of jobs held by americans

actually declined. amazingly all the net job growth and that time went to immigrants. ofbine that with the reality efficient businesses and increased automation and slow growth, the fact is we just don't have enough jobs being created now for the people who are here. why this help to explain our wages have fallen and by we have the false -- lowest percentage of americans actually holding a job in 40 years? our duty as elected officials is to get our people jobs first. it cannot be our policy to take jobs from across -- a rockwell government support him as are use for those unemployed americans. bad trade deals. excess immigration. the labor market, job prospects.

places ourtting nation at risk of terrorism. remember, the president has the clear power to suspend immigration to protect america. now.ca wants help [cheering] this election will make it happen. [cheering] that is why we need donald trump . [cheering] donald trump is the leader who will bring change. [cheering]

he has the strength, the courage, and the will to get it done. he is attracting more and more independents and democrats in the movement. donald trump will kill obama trade. [cheering] build themp will wall. [cheering] and donald trump will make america great again. [cheering] thank you. god bless.
